Main Cast of The Simpsons Animated TV Series
• Homer Simpson
"D'oh!" If you've never heard Homer Simpsons' familiar cry of frustration, whether from the show itself or from kids running through the neighbourhood, one would suspect you've been living under a rock.

Homer Simpson may be one of the dumbest guys in town, but that hasn't stopped him from doing some pretty cool things, even if it does take a few cries of 'D'oh!' to get him there. When he's not working at Mr. Burns' Nuclear Power Plant, you might find Homer over at Moe's, inventing new products or strangling Bart. No matter what he's up to at Moe's Tavern, you can be assured he's downing his favorite beverage, beer, and letting the world know of his love for it with another of his familiar sayings: "Mmmm... beer!"

• Marge Simpson
Why Marge Simpson has stayed with Homer all this time is an age old mystery. She's smart, sophisticated and has gorgeous, tall, blue hair. Whether it's whipping up supper for her family or banning sugar from Springfield, Marge always has something on the go. Despite her husband's dumb-witted ways, Marge stands by the man she loves.

• Bart Simpson - A complete opposite from his sister Lisa, Bart Simpson is always getting himself into trouble. He prides himself on getting nothing but Ds and Fs in school and can regularly be found in detention. Even though he's not a genius in school, Bart has managed to help capture homicidal maniac, Sideshow Bob, not once, but twice!

• Lisa Simpson
Lisa is only in the second grade, but she is one smart cookie. Constantly taking on issues around town, Lisa sometimes drives the people of Springfield a little crazy. Lisa is a vegetarian, she plays the saxaphone and rarely gets along with her brother, Bart.

• Maggie Simpson
She can't talk yet, but Maggie Simpson is still aware that she lives with a pretty crazy family. She's an extremely loveable baby and is never without her red soother!
